mooncake gift box | how to mooncake making and where will get best mooncake gift box
I love my mini mooncake gift box molds. Seriously love them. They ’re presumably my favorite ornamental kitchen contrivance, beating out the letter prints for shortbread, the nori punch that makes bitsy faces to put on food, and all the cookie knives. recently I ’ve been using them to cover petit fours in moldered fondant, but before that I actually used them to make mooncakes, and I ’ll be doing a variation on that in this post. After all, the Autumn Moon Festival is coming up, so everyone differently is making mooncakes too, right? Right???
Anyway, I noway important liked traditional mooncake gift boxstuffing – bean paste, nuts, interspersed egg thralldom – so I spent some time trying to figure out what to use rather. It had to be firm and hold its shape while baking, so cutlet batter and utmost cookie doughs were right out. Same with fresh fruit and any delicate centers. Eventually, I hit upon the idea of using cutlet pops – not the kind you singe into shape, but the original kind, where you mix atrophied cutlet with commodity liquid or fruity and form it into a ball. I figured the humidity from the liquid would help overbaking, and the structure of the cutlet would hold its shape well enough to keep the moldered outdoors from collapsing or exploding.
And what do you know, it worked! Since also I ’ve made a many different types, my fave being unheroic cutlet and cream rubbish with sweetened pineapple, coconut, and maraschino cherries, all wrapped up in a shortbread crust. still, for this interpretation I wanted to try commodity different – chocolate. Chocolate crust, chocolate stuffing, chocolate EVERYTHING. I decided to use my small( 35g) round earth to make these as bonbon- like as possible.
For the stuffing I used a introductory chocolate cutlet( my favorite bone - coliseum cutlet form), speckled with mini chocolate chips, with a sour cherry in the center of each cutlet. I ’d set up some sour cherries packed in cherry juice and rum in my original epicure store, and allowed they ’d be perfect for this operation. Anyway, I drained off the cherry juice/ rum admixture and used it as the liquid to bind together my cutlet motes. also I reduced the rest of the juice to make a saccharinity to soak the cherries in to enhance their flavor – in retrospection I might have wanted to make all the juice into saccharinity and also used the saccharinity to bedew the cutlet motes, or indeed just used chocolate frosting or saccharinity for added fudginess, but I did n’t suppose of it until it was too late.
The crust is grounded on a traditional baked mooncake form, just adding cocoa to give it the right flavor – it holds its shape well when ignited, and really shows up the details on the mooncake earth( see Note 4 for farther studies on this).
All by all these make lovable little goodies, and they ’d be perfect for any sweet buffet or autumn tea table.
